The Magnetic Fields - The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side lyrics

Andy would bicycle across town in the rain to bring you

candy and John would buy the gown for you to wear to the

prom with Tom the astronomer who'd name a star for you

(C): But I'm the luckiest guy on the Lower East Side

cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

Harry is the one I think you'll marry but it's Chris

that you kissed after school I'm a fool, there's no doubt

but when the sun comes out and only when the sun

comes out... (C) The day is beautiful and so are you

My car is ugly but then I'm ugly too I know you'd

never give me a second glance but when the weather's

nice all the other guys don't stand a chance

I know Professor Blumen makes you feel like a woman

but when the wind is in your hair you laugh like a little girl

So you share secrets with Lou but we've got secrets too

Well, one: I only keep this heap for you

cause I'm the ugliest guy on the Lower East Side

but I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

Want to go for a ride?
